This week's link for new titles in at Transreal Fiction: transreal.wordpress.com/2025/09/19/t... Thought I'd have a few more but my supplier sold out of some between my ordering them and them packing my boxes...

My favorite part of Terminator Genisys is when Phyl Collyns takes over as lead singer from Peter Gabryel

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

So my order, expected yesterday morning, finlly arrived at ten past three today... this week's note of the new titles will be a little late.

Sad to hear this news, loved the Flo & Eddie lps then dug into the Turtles back catalog. Their greatest hits used to get played in the shop a lot... May have to play it tomorrow.

A shame. I only read a handful of her books but I enjoyed the ones I did. Mainly early Saint-Germain titles but also Ariosto, an alternate renaissance fantasy.

7th September is Gala Day at the Collective Gallery in the City Observatory on Edinburgh's Calton Hill. Check it out her www.collective-edinburgh.art/programme/ga... I'll be there with the latest pieces in my Saturn's Rings knitting collection, and a few bargains too.

'As Mars slowly cooled ... chemically diverse chunks were trapped in a sluggishly churning mantle, like ingredients folded into a Rocky Road brownie mix.'

Please be aware that Transreal Fiction will no longer be open Tuesdays until further notice. Now open on Wednesday through to Saturday.

Sad to be missing Mercury Rev tonight but it's standing only and that's getting too wearisome to want to do these days. And we saw them at the same venue back in 2016...

Not really seriously thinking of stocking Wuthering Heights or Pride and Prejudice but I have been asked for them quite a lot this summer!

Sparky the robot dog from this show www.edfringe.com/tickets/what... just dropped in to the shop...

At the doctor’s surgery for a check up. People sitting on the vinyl sofas leave behind bottom prints that strongly resemble the earthworks of Neolithic Henge embankments. Makes you think.

#Edinburgh people. Thanks to a double whammy of one of our party having Covid and any other who cant travel due to hospital treatment. I've got spare tickets to some Edinburgh International Festival performances we bought back in March. Will take half the ticket value for them... 👇

Les is more, more or less. The Walrus is Paul, not Les Paul.

Classic 'Google AI Overview' summary of the Arctic Circle: "The Arctic Circle also defines the northern boundary of the Arctic region" Hmm. I wonder what the area north of it is called!?

Sending healing vibes to Mr. Dave Edmunds.

Hoorah! A Fringe silent disco has just passed by... didn't stop though! :-) First I've seen this year.

Wow. Boundless, the successor to Unbound, the crowdfunded publisher that collapsed amid authors' complaints of non-payment and millions owed to creditors, has reportedly gone into administration itself & "will be closing down entirely, with no rescue" www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...

OK. I'm doing this. One like = one opinion about either Trek or Zardoz!

The first two of his books I bought (in those editions!)

ROE DEER on CALTON HILL. A probable female 'doe' was spotted on the hill on 16 July, followed by a roebuck on 22 July. There are some roe deer in Holyrood Park, though they are seldom seen. We don't know if our ones are residents or visitors. Please report sightings to <[email protected]>.

Signed copies of new SF title Immeasurable Heaven by Caspar Geon now available! Also signed copies of his Amaranthine Spectrum trilogy, although those are bylined Tom Toner! Two author visits for the price of one! 🙂📖

Trees apparently have evolved to grow in a spiral pattern in certain conditions where the substrate is very waterlogged and this gives the tree extra strength or where roots are poor and the spiralling makes for a more efficient way of distributing sap and food. www.wta.org/news/signpos...

Some sort of photo shoot of a piper playing & marching up the street outside...

All set up at the Edinburgh @smallpressday.bsky.social comic fair at the Counting House. It’s FREE and on until 5pm 👍 Come meet our city’s local talent and check out their books :)

In a change from the usual pop/rock groups appearing, I think I just heard some of the soundcheck for Ludovico Einaudi at the Castle tonight & tomorrow...

Very sad to hear this news; his programme was essential viewing when I was growing up...

Tried going for morning coffee at the new cafe on Calton Hill. Didn't make it past the doorway and it looked packed inside, with another queue for take away half blocking the entrance. Won't be back until the summer is over, at the earliest.

Ah, sounds like Marti Pellow doing his soundcheck at the Castle...

At last! Maybe they started earlier but I'm only now hearing the Kaiser Chiefs as a dull background as they sound check on the Castle esplanade...
